Well, BigBox did its job. All 22 GB of downloaded .zip files. I don't want to think how much space they will take up completely unzipped. I don't need to throw WD some money yet... Since I have the duty phone and I am kinda tied with that leash, now to see if I can get them to work here using Tom's dbfawk file. 73 from 807, Richard, N6NKO Gerry Creager wrote: Only if I had time.

Re: [Xastir] Slashgeo | TIGER Data Finally Out SHP Format
I decided to learn dbfawk using the trial by fire method. I spent today working on a dbfawk file for these new Tiger Shapefiles. I started with tgr2shp.dbfawk, but had to modify almost everything. Here's what I came up with: http://tomh.us/tgrshplines.dbfawk Here's a screen shot of it in use: http://tomh.us/snapshot.png I only worked on the All Lines (by county) package, and didn't mess with labels and polygons, but it displays roads and water decently. This documentation was very useful: Tiger Shapefile documentation: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tgrshprl.pdf CFCC => MTFCC conversion: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/luca2010/luca_luca_br.txt And of course: http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:DBFAWK I hope this is beneficial to the group. I'm still learning dbfawk, so let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement.

A new set of dbfawk files specific for these shapefiles will have to be written. As the shapefiles are only a day old, nobody's gotten around to doing that yet. You could start from the file "tgr2shp.dbfawk" and "tgr2shppoly.dbfawk" and adapt them to the new shapefiles if you care to try it out. I was planning to do just that eventually, but am too busy to do it any time this week. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?

Re: [Xastir] Slashgeo | TIGER Data Finally Out SHP Format
Download link: http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/national-files Now how do I make water lines a different color from road lines? Is that what dbfawk does? Can a generic configuration file be distributed for this (and how would I go about doing this)?
